This method offers high levels of precision and angular accuracy. This method is ideal for sheet metal with a thickness of more than 2 mm.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
Our manual control push brakes are suitable for industries and jobs that don’t require the precision and detail achieved by CNC controls. The manual press brakes include all the safety features of CNC models. However, manual presses are more powerful and easier to use than CNC models. They feature a front operated power back-gauge, ram adjust with digital readings, and fine adjustment handswheels for both. Our models range from 22 to 44 tons.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform better.
High-speed hydraulics packages are available to enhance the productivity of press brakes. To maintain temperature and prolong system life, an oil cooler is installed. Call a representative to learn more about our standard systems or custom-designed systems.
Backed by Standard Industrial's reputation for durability and repeatability, our press brake machines offer important advantages over other models.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
These heavy-duty materials will be controlled by a CNC controller. The arms move in a circular arc that follows the part being formed. This is lightweight and precise. This system provides assistance for your operator and improves the quality of bend.
It is powered by a double-axis back gauge and can perform automated bending steps calculation. These servo-electric press brakes are very precise in bending and eco-friendly. They also require minimal maintenance.
Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.

Two methods can press brakes bend steel. The first is bottom bending, where the ram presses the metal to its bottom. Bottom bending allows for precise bends, and less reliance on the machine's press brake. Each tool has its limitations. They are designed to create a particular bend and you will need a different one for each angle. The bottom of the die and the ram are separated by an air pocket when air bending occurs. This allows for the operator to account for any material spring back. These types of dies need to only be changed if there is excessive material thickness. Air bending has a drawback. Because the thickness of the material can affect the accuracy, the ram needs changing accordingly.
Combine those outstanding machine capabilities listed above and then consider this; with our industry renowned service (we average 2 ½ service technicians to every salesperson), our well-staffed emergency service line, and a parts department that would blow your mind. If your initial investment includes tooling up your press brake, we have you covered there as well. We are factory trained and certified Wila and Wilson tooling experts with the tools on the shelf.
A crowning unit might be useful for certain applications, such as multiple die sets that are used in one stroke or a larger brake that forms a large range of materials.
What happens if you don't hold down the clutch pedal or keep your vehicle in neutral while driving? Explanation: If you hold the clutch pedal down or stay in neutral for too much time, your vehicle will freewheel. Coasting is a dangerous technique that reduces your vehicle's control.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
Air brakes are generally more efficient than hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brakes are unable to provide the required energy to stop heavy loads. The air brakes are safer than hydraulic brakes because they will stop the wheel from spinning.
